in50Hrs: Take that Idea and Give it Life!

[Vijay Anand]

Unfortunately ideas are touted to be the end game. Be it that popular
telecom brand we know of, or that media house which celebrates it so
much, but experienced entrepreneurs will tell you that the dawn of an
idea is just the beginning of misery. If you give it enough time, an
idea eats into your thought process, and if you carry the conviction
and are willing to do something about it - it just might change the
world.

I can only wonder if ideas are also in someway equations - with one
part being rational, the other part being instinctive, and factored by
an element of execution. (a+b)^e then, is it?. Perhaps.

There is however a gulf, to take an idea to a prototype - to bring it
into the realm of reality, something that others can see, use and be
convinced off. Hence the effort on In50hrs.

We have a space, dedicated for the task for 50 hours (including
overnight), some kickass mentors (who still have fresh memories of
building that first successful product that they launched), fellow
entrepreneurs, coders, designers and product managers - all lending
their skills to breathe life into that thing, that started off as an
itch, and a passing moment.

If you are a student, this is a golden opportunity - a weekend to
figure if that idea is really worth all that trouble. If you are a
coder/designer looking to get involved in some rather challenging,
edgy programming work, then here's an opportunity - and everyone has
got 50 hours to make it work.

We have rather limited seats and it seems we will get sold out in day
or two, but if you are mulling over that product or even an
opensource project idea, this is the perfect weekend to kickstart it.
